Agricola was born in Forum Julii , Gallia Narbonensis (modern southern France), as the son of Julius Graecinus and his wife Julia Procilla. Agricola was married to Domitia Decidiana , with whom he had a daughter Julia Agricola who married the historian Tacitus . His son-in-law chronicled his career in a book entitled '' De Vita Et Moribus Iulii Agricolae '' and was one of his great supporters. His career started as a military tribune in Britain from ); on the other, Agricola never again held a civil or military post, in spite of his experience and renown. He was offered the governorship of the province of Africa, but declined it, whether due to ill health or (as Tacitus claims) the machinations of Domitian. He died in 93.
